Zoning Creates Debts, Debtors & Government Dependents

Forty years ago, my father bought a little retirement farm in Wisconsin.  The farm included a wonderful old barn and a house that was started back about A.D. 1900.

The house was a standard, two-story farm house.  But it was particularly interesting because it was built one room at a time.  You could tell because not one of the six ground-floor rooms had a floor that matched the level of any adjacent room’s floor. Each room’s floor was a half or three-quarter’s inch higher or lower than the adjacent room’s floor.

It was apparent that the original farmer had saved his money, bought the land, and then saved more money to build his first room (now, the kitchen).  I’m sure that he, his wife and kids all lived in that first 250 ft² room.  Later, as the farmer worked and saved more of his profits, he bought more lumber to build a second room (probably a bedroom).  Then he even dug a basement under the third addition (no small feat in that rocky soil).  After what may have been five or ten years, the farmer had built a pretty nice, two-story home.

I can imagine how hard that farmer had to work.  I can imagine the strain of saving enough of his earnings each year to buy more lumber to add another room.  I can also imagine the pride that the farmer, and his wife, and even their kids felt each time the farmer was able to add another room onto their house.  There had to be a real sense of accomplishment.

But, most importantly, they had to be delighted that there was no debt.

 

“Craigslist Proved My Innocence Against A Felony Charge”

A West Point graduate and former Army officer sees a woman being abused by cops.   He hollers to tell them stop. He video-records the cops.  The cops rough him up, arrest him and charge him with a felony.

He advertises on Craigslist for anyone who witnessed the event and, amazingly, someone replies who also video’d the same event.  That second video causes the grand jury to refuse to indict him for a felony.  He becomes involved in the “Peaceful Streets” project that, in part, encourages people to carry cameras for the principle purpose of video-recording cops while they stop, arrest and sometimes abuse, private people.  Peaceful Streets has now spread to several other cities.

This remarkable video doesn’t merely show how a man avoided being charged with a felony.  It shows how all of us can help curb the police state by simply using cellphone cameras to routinely record police activities.  We live in a surveillance society.  There’s no reason why cops should be exempt from that surveillance. When the cops know that they may be being video-recorded at virtually every moment they’re on duty, their inclination to abuse people will be inhibited and their conduct should improve dramatically.

Applause, applause!

DHS “Whistleblower” Labeled “Domestic Terrorist”

Julia Davis was employed by the Department of Homeland Security and tasked with protecting our borders from incursion by terrorists.  One day, she  identified 23 people who may have been terrorists crossing the border into the U.S..  She tried to alert her superiors to the intrusions by the possible terrorists.  Unfortunately, the DHS Intelligence office that should’ve received her information was closed so the Intel officers could have a picnic.  Therefore, Ms. Davis reported her concerns to the FBI.  The DHS regarded being exposed for being off the job while having a picnic as evidence that Ms. Davis was a “whistleblower”.  DHS  later responded by declaring her to be a “domestic terrorist” and even caused her to be arrested twice and then imprisoned.

Here’s her extraordinary story:

“Government is Inherently Good”?!!

Harry Reid (D-NV), Majority Leader of the United States Senate–THE FACE OF BIG GOVERNMENT  (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The Washington Times recently reported (“Harry Reid:  ‘Government is Inherently Good’”) that,

 

“Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he can’t understand why the tea party remains popular, given its similarity to the anarchist movement and its steadfast opposition to the ‘inherently good’ government.”

“Inherently good government”?

“Inherently good government”?! 

Are you kidding me?!!

Has Senator Reid lost his mind?  Is he becoming overwhelmed by his sense of guilt?  Or is he merely so ignorant that he doesn’t understand that this country started with the presumption that government was a “necessary evil” wherein the “necessary” was often debatable, but the “evil” was virtually certain?

George Washington implied the inherently wicked nature of government when he said, “Government, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”  Washington surely didn’t see government as “inherently good”.  He saw it as, at best, a dangerous servant.  At best.  Necessary, perhaps.  But always dangerous.

 

Poll: 29% of Registered Voters Believe Armed Revolution Might Be Necessary in Next Few Years

For those of you who think you’re virtually alone in your anti-government sentiments . . . for those of you who think that those of us who want a restoration of liberty are only a tiny minority . . . there’s a recent poll indicating that 29% of the American people believe that a shooting revolution may be required to protect our liberties from our own government.

29% translates into about 90 million Americans who already believe that government has gone too far–and plans to go further–down the road into a police state and overt tyranny.

Thus, 29% of Americans are aware of, or at least sympathetic to, the idea expressed in the Declaration of Independence that “. . . when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

29%.

We are not alone.  The ideas, attitudes and concerns shared on this blog and hundreds more like it are not only proliferating but are far more common than most people imagine.  We are not the “lunatic fringe”.  We are mainstream and growing stronger.

We are winning.

 

Desperate Times

Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal.  In one of his articles after the recent “April Plunge” in the price of gold, he wrote:

 

“I was the first to point out that the Federal Reserve was rigging all markets, not merely bond prices and interest rates, and that the Fed is rigging the bullion market in order to protect the US dollar’s exchange value, which is threatened by the Fed’s quantitative easing.”

It’s one thing for people like the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee (GATA) to claim that the gold and silver markets are rigged. It’s another thing entirely to have a former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury to make similar claims.  Mr. Roberts’ credentials add much credence to the market rigging claims.

 

“With the Fed adding to the supply of dollars faster than the demand for dollars is increasing, the price or exchange value of the dollar is set up to fall.”

 

Gun Confiscation Coming?

Comrades! Turn in your Weapons! (Photo credit: Templar1307)

Each day, I read the headlines in the mainstream news, I follow my email, and read as many articles as I have time. I’ve done so for several years, primarily as a prerequisite for hosting daily radio shows. Over those several years, I’ve developed an intuitive awareness of the “velocity” of news.  That is, on average, there’s been about the same number of stories, the same “quantity” of news each week for several years.

But starting this last January, I’ve had the distinct impression that the “velocity of news” had accelerated by, say, at least 30%.  I have no evidence to support that impression.  It’s just a subjective feeling.  But that feeling has been so persistent that I’m inclined to believe it’s real.

Based on that increasing “velocity of news,” I’ve come to suspect that “something big” is now very close–maybe just weeks or a couple of months away.  Again, I have no evidence other than “gut”.  I could easily be wrong.

We recently witnessed the 2-day plunge in the price of gold.  That was pretty “big” but I don’t believe that’s the “something big” that I’ve been anticipating.  Instead, I suspect that there’s more coming and possibly soon.  But, again, I could be wrong.

 

Video Supports “False Flag” Boston Bombing Conspiracy Theory

FBI Created 17 False Flag Terrorist Attacks

According to Judge Andrew Napolitano, in the past 10 years, there’ve been 20 Terrorist plots against the US.  Three of those plots were real but were discovered and stopped by private Americans.  The other 17 were created–and then stopped–by the FBI.

The apparent purpose of these false flag operations was to deceive Americans into believing we’re under attack by foreign or domestic terrorists who are fictional.  Based on the false belief that we’re being persistently attacked, Americans tend to accept and even our government’s invasions of foreign countries and our own growing police state.

If you want to fly on an airplane, you must first be x-rayed or groped based, in part, on 17 plots created by the FBI to prove the existence of terrorists who don’t actually exist.

Every government agent–right up to the President–who authorized or participated in such fraudulent terrorist attacks should be tried for treason and, if found guilty, hanged by the neck until dead.

 

Democide: Mass Murder by Governments

In the 20th Century, more people were murdered by their own governments than killed by war. Governments don’t buy all those weapons merely to protect the country against foreign invaders. Governments buy those weapons in case the government has to defend itself against its own people.
